Reply to comment by elmatador12 in Poor sleep in middle age can have a negative impact on brain health, according to a study by researchers at The Australian National University by chrisdh79

I think dozing is unintentional sleep, where as napping is intentional. Makes sense that being so tired you fall to sleep unintentionally is detrimental to brain health.

Reply to Almost 100 years since being initially proposed, the location of adult European eels' breeding place (upon their 5-10,000 km migration across the Atlantic Ocean) has been demonstrated directly as the Sargasso Sea for the first time. by Litvi

We have specialised (depending on who you ask) equipment in front of our river intake pumps, which simply call eel screens, to prevent any eels being sucked up through the pumps.

They were installed before I started working there, but I understand that it was requested by the Environment Agency in order to protect these eels and other river inhabitants.
